Meth lab bust in Falkville leads to two arrests

-- Law enforcement agencies arrested two people Monday in connection with a meth lab discovered off of U.S. 31.

Michael Heath Hand, 35, of Hartselle, and Anissa Klocek, 34, of Falkville, were arrested by the Morgan County Sheriff's Department. Hand was charged with unlawful manufacturing of a controlled substance and was being held on a $500,000 bond. Klocek was charged with unlawful manufacturing of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. She was being held on a $505,300 bond.

Sheriff's deputies, Falkville police and the Falkville Volunteer Fire Department checked a suspicious vehicle parked on a logging road off of U.S. 31 in Falkville, where Hand and Klocek had been arguing. Once deputies began to investigate, they discovered a meth lab and called the Morgan County Drug Task Force.

Agents found three one-pot meth labs along with several gas generators, syringes, lye, propane fuel, acid, Drano and finished meth.
